Grilled Vegetable Skewers Are Perfect For Plant-Based Grilling In The Summer
This recipe is so simple to make but all kinds of delicious. Enjoy the summer's bounty of fresh corn, sweet peppers and a spicy marinated tofu for your veggie skewers. Enjoy this recipe outside on the grill or roast in the oven inside
So, we recently went camping in the North Georgia mountains and of course we couldn't resist doing a few traditional things like making s'mores, plant-based burgers and especially vegan kabobs on a grill. Of course, we did it with a vegan and gluten-free twist on the classic Middle Eastern meat dish Kebab and that was the fun part.
These veggie skewers are so easy to make and are a great cooking activity to do with the kiddos. With the vegan kabobs we could try almost any combination of sweet and savory veggies we liked. And while we didn't get too adventurous on this camping trip; our next go around we plan on adding fresh peaches and pineapple to the mix.
We hope this becomes a new summer grilling go to for you like it has for us.
